[edit] Pronunciation

Removed the misleading information that Sexwale's surname is pronounced "Seghwahle". 82.108.5.59 12:59, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

How is it pronounced then? /segwɑle/? /sexwɑle/? /seǁwɑle/? --Krsont 11:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I think /sexwɑle/. Definitely neither of the others. --User:Taejo|대조 15:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

/seǁ͡kwɑle/, I believe. It's an unvoiced lateral alveolar click. Don't-stop-the-music 15:40, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Guerrilla

Sexwale grew up amid the turmoil of the black township's upheaval; he was eight when he heard the explosions at a nearby post office of the first bombs in the African National Congress's guerrilla campaign.

What the ANC was involved in qualifies hardly as "guerrilla campaign". While guerrillas would attack a stronger enemy with hit and run tactics. They still would respect normal rules of warfare like wearing combat dress and carrying weapons openly. Planting bombs in shopping centers or landmines on farm roads hardly qualifies as working within the norms of warfare. I think terrorism is the more adequate word for it. --196.2.105.52 13:23, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
